GTA 6: release date, platforms, editions and how to prepare your TV

What Rockstar has confirmed

Everything below comes from Rockstar Games' official website (rockstargames.com/VI) and the official PlayStation and Xbox pages, accessed 15 October 2026.

The game has been delayed twice: originally due in autumn 2025, it was first pushed back to 26 May 2026, then to 19 November 2026. Rockstar said at the time it wanted to take the time to polish the game. Since then, the studio hasn't changed the date and pre-orders are open.

The editions and their prices

Two digital editions are available. The prices below are those on the Belgian PlayStation Store as of 15 October 2026.

An upgrade to the Ultimate Edition is also available for those who already own the Standard Edition. On Xbox, the same editions are sold on the Microsoft Store: check the prices on your console.

What's in the Ultimate Edition, according to Rockstar

• A 1995 Grotti Cheetah, a sports car with a retro-futuristic look.
• Customised revolvers for Jason and Lucia.
• A Dinka Enduro motorbike and a kayak, a Squalo speedboat and a 1967 Vapid Dominator buggy with its garage.
• Access to exclusive shops: Electric Fang tattoo parlour (over 50 tattoos designed by the FAILE collective), barber shop, clothing store, car customisation workshops.
• Bonus missions, such as a series of classic car restoration jobs.

Rockstar also sells a physical 'Collector's Box' with merchandise (figurine, cap, Oakley sunglasses, Leonida map poster...). It is not a game edition: the game code is not mentioned in it.

What isn't official yet

Plenty of rumours are going around. Here is what to take with a pinch of salt until Rockstar has announced it:

• Graphics modes : 30 or 60 frames per second, performance mode on PS5 Pro... Nothing has been detailed. The PlayStation Store only states 'Optimised for PS5 Pro'.
• The PC version : no announcement. Previous GTA games reached PC after consoles, but that is no guarantee.
• The online mode : Sony's FAQ describes GTA VI as a single-player experience, and Rockstar has not yet mentioned a successor to GTA Online.
• The PEGI rating : Sony states it was not confirmed at the time its page was written. GTA V was PEGI 18: expect the same. This is not a game for children.

What the PS5 adds, according to Sony

On its official game page, Sony details what GTA VI makes use of on PS5:

• Tempest 3D Audio, to pinpoint the sounds of Leonida precisely, on headphones as well as on compatible TV speakers.
• The ultra-fast SSD, for near-instant loading times in the open world.
• Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller, as well as its built-in speaker.

Preparing your TV for Vice City

GTA VI is a game of light: pink sunsets, Vice City neon, humid nights. HDR is what will make the difference, far more than 120 Hz, since the game officially promises no particular frame rate.

1. A bright 4K HDR TV : an OLED for the nights and the neon, a Mini LED if you play during the day in a bright living room.
2. The right port : an HDMI 2.1 port, with Enhanced Format enabled.
3. Game mode, switched on automatically thanks to ALLM, and motion smoothing turned off.
4. HDR calibration : TV set to HGIG, then 'Adjust HDR' on PS5 or the calibration app on Xbox. Everything is explained in our guide setting up your TV for gaming.
5. Sound : an eARC soundbar, or a good pair of headphones. Vice City's radio stations, with the launch trailer featuring 'Flower in a Hurricane' by Justice, deserve better than the tiny speakers of a slim TV.
